This tour encompasses Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bandipur, and Manakamana, focusing on the history, spirituality, and Himalayan views.

Your Himalayan Tour begins in Kathmandu, visiting the self-originated Swayambhunath Stupa, perched atop a hill, seeing the entire Kathmandu in all four cardinal directions with its all-seeing eyes of compassion. Then venture into Patan, known for its artistic heritage. In Patan, intricate metal, stone, and wood carvings are an integral part of daily life, and ancient temples and historic courtyards reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion.
In Kathmandu’s Own Durbar Square (Basantapur), admire the historic palaces associated with the unification of the country, the rise and fall of the ruling powers, and visit Kumari Chowk, home of the Living Goddess, which highlights Nepal’s unique cultural practices. Continue to Pashupatinath Temple, the most sacred site in the Hindu world, where rituals of life and death along the Ghats of the Bagmati River offer deep insight into spiritual beliefs, tradition, and obligatory lifecycles. The not-to-miss site in Kathmandu is Bhaktapur, a medieval city with numerous temples and a lively local culture and lifestyle.
Pokhara is a major highlight of the Himalayan tour, known for its peaceful lakes, fresh mountain air, and stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre (Fish-tailed Mountain), the city offers a perfect escape into nature, relaxation around the calm waters of Phewa Lake and Begnas Lake.
Key experiences include visiting the International Mountain Museum to learn about mountaineering history and Himalayan geography, exploring Tibetan refugee settlements to understand why and how they escaped to Nepal, their culture and lifestyle, and enjoying a relaxing boat ride on Phewa Lake to reach the sacred Barahi Temple. An early-morning sunrise pilgrimage to Sarangkot offers a spectacular sunrise over the Annapurna Himalayas, with golden light casting a spell over the snow-capped peaks, creating an unforgettable experience.
Bandipur is a charming hilltop medieval town that reflects traditional Nepali culture and Newari architecture. As Bandipur, once a Newari trading center, has retained its original charm with cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and a tranquil atmosphere for visitors. The small hill town of Bandipur offers unique panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Annapurna. Such a complete view of Ganesh Himal and Manaslu is not possible from other parts of Nepal. Bandipur is home to both Newar and Magar communities, with Magar being the majority. If you take a 2-hour walking excursion, you can visit Ramkot Village, a beautiful Magar cultural village, making your Bandipur visit both visually and culturally enriching on the Himalayan Tour.
The journey continues to Manakamana Temple, a Kali’s Alter, believed to fulfill the wishes of her devotees. The temple visit is a short, exciting cable car ride each way, offering views of dispersed villages on the high hill slopes, the deep river gorge, and orange gardens. This combination of spiritual significance and natural beauty makes it a memorable part of the journey.
The final highlight of the Himalayan tour is the Everest mountain flight, offering a lifetime experience flying over the world’s highest peaks up close. This early morning one-hour flight offers panoramic views of Langtang to Makalu Range, focusing on Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu, amongst other towering Himalaya giants.
Flying at dawn over the Himalayas, seeing the ever-changing colors of the mountains and their magical scene is indescribable. This flight over the Himalayas lets you appreciate the grandeur and scale of the Himalayas without hiking, making it accessible to everyone. It is the perfect ending to a Himalayan trip, leaving travelers with an indelible impression of the beauty of this mountain range, captured in this short Himalayan Tour from both the ground and the air.
